Featured Reviews for Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Charlottesville

Sunny Pond LLC
Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Charlottesville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 21, 2014
“We have been very pleased with the gardening plans that Sunny Pond has developed for our property. We have used Richard's expertise in two areas of our property, our driveway entrance and a side bed across from our pond. We have a rural setting and wanted to plant beds to enhance our natural environment versus a formal garden. Richard drew up a unique plan and color coded the plant drawings so we could envision how the beds would appear throughout the seasons providing continual color. The work is guaranteed replanting shrubs that did not survive the first year. We highly recommend Sunny Pond.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 7, 2020
“From the idea of adding a retaining wall and revamping our patio/outdoor space, Conor and his team blew us away with their professionalism and kindness. Reasonable pricing and a manageable completion time left my wife and I at ease. I would and will highly recommend this company to everyone. Just because they are the new guys in town doesn’t mean they lack experience!”
Outdoor Lifestyles Landscape LLC
Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Charlottesville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 14, 2014
“I used Outdoor Lifestyles Landscape LLC to install a brick paver patio, as well as replace my old deck boards with Trex composite material. They did a fabulous job and I highly recommend dealing with Bill Siewert. You can tell he's been in the industry for a long time and he really knows the business. We recently had a severe storm with damaging winds and I had a tree fall against my house and into my yard. Upon falling, it destroyed several landscape features in my yard and I again called Outdoor Lifestyle Landscapes. Bill Siewert returned my phone call within 20 minutes, scheduled a time to assess the damage the very next day and provided a very detailed and comprehensive estimate within an hour. The repair installation was scheduled within a reasonable time frame and the crew was courteous and respectful of my property. They cleaned up after themselves better than any other contractor I've had to date. I'd highly recommend their service!”
Oak Valley Landscape & Hardscape, LLC
Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Charlottesville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 11, 2016
“A city utility project destroyed a large portion of our existing landscaping; located on a very steep slope along our entire eastern property line. We faced a massive landscaping project which needed to address not only asthetics, but also creative design to limit erosion. Fortunately, Oak Valley had been recommended by friends, and we called Bruce. Our expectations were high, but Oak Valley exceeded them in every respect. Bruce not only drafted a thoughtful and detailed plan, he really listened to us - the design and hardscape/plants we preferred, our ability (limited) as gardeners to care for the project over time, and how we use the space. He also took the time to look at our neighbors' landscaping to be sure ours would fit in - and both neighbors and strangers stop by to say how beautiful it looks. His team was amazing; they were efficient, skilled, very pleasant to work with - and left the site as clean and organized as possible at the end of every day. We had to start the project in the spring on an emergency basis; we couldn't wait for fall planting. There have been torrential downpours and a scorching summer since completion, but the slope holds firm and the landscaping is beautiful. There have been a few plant casualties, but Bruce advised at the outset that we would do a checkup in the fall to update as needed. In the interim, he has patiently and promptly answered every "How do we take care of....?" question, and has stopped by several times to check on the project. Oak Valley turned a mud pit into a unique and beautiful garden, and sudden stress into a very enjoyable experience. Like our friends, we recommend Oak Valley highly.”

“Virginia is a great pleasure to work with on any project. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional and creative. You will enjoy the experience and the results. She created a beautiful environment with a living archway for the 2010 Symphony Designer House in Richmond as well as doing several pieces for the 2012 House as well.”
Working Nature LLC
Drought Tolerant Landscaping Companies in Charlottesville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 2, 2015
“We hired Wendy Meyer in 2011 to renovate our back yard from a traditional (and boring) lawn into a place where I could grow vegetables and landscape plants appropriate for an increasingly hot and dry climate. She created a beautiful space with curved, stone-trimmed raised beds for vegetable gardening, a tank for goldfish and water plants, native flowering plants set around decomposed granite walkways, and a wind sculpture that looks like a flower unfolding. Two years later we asked her to renovate our side yard in a similar theme, and she designed raised beds with native prairie grasses, flowering plants and fruit trees as well as a fourth vegetable bed. She picked attractive materials appropriate for the hot and dry climate, helped us find qualified contractors, oversaw construction, and followed up to answer my questions and check on plant health. I have happily recommended her to several friends who have seen the yard and asked, "who designed this for you?"”

“My wife and I had little understanding of the design process or how to stage the development of our landscape project. Mrs. Boeschenstein was very accurate in her estimate and evaluation of the scope of our endeavor and thanks to her experience guided us through this labor. She helped us understand the order in which things would proceed and recommended several contractors who proved to be very skilled and reliable. She addressed issues regarding drainage and irrigation that I hadn't even considered. She turned our pool into a remarkable living space through her beautiful design and balanced eye. Even the smallest details were not overlooked thanks to her high expectations. I simply love the terraced gardens, balance of materials (stone, wood and metal) and colorful palate of flowers and shrubs. Most importantly, she tied it all together so it is cohesive, functional and beautiful. I am so very happy with the final result.”
